Sure! Here’s a slightly easier, but still Band 8-9 sample answer for the Part 2 cue card:
🚗 Describe an occasion when the vehicle you took broke down in your travel.
I remember a time when I was traveling to a nearby city with my family for a short holiday. We were all excited because it had been a while since we had a trip together. However, the journey didn’t go as smoothly as we had hoped. About an hour into the drive, our car suddenly stopped on a quiet road in the countryside.
At first, we thought it was a small issue, but after trying to start the engine several times, we realized something was wrong. We had to call for roadside assistance, but they told us it would take around two hours to get to us. It was a hot day, and waiting by the side of the road was uncomfortable and frustrating.
When the mechanic finally arrived, he told us there was a problem with the engine, and it needed a quick repair. Luckily, he had the right tools, and he fixed it in about thirty minutes. We were relieved, but the delay meant we reached our destination quite late, and we missed out on some sightseeing that we had planned for that afternoon.
Even though the breakdown was annoying, it taught me an important lesson – it’s always wise to check the car properly before a long journey. It also made me realize how important it is to stay calm when things don’t go as expected.
